"Far Left" means the Sendero Luminoso, or maybe Pol Pot(if you actually believe what the Khmer Rouge did was in any real sense "leftist" at all).

It doesn't apply to people who are simply defending their own liberal, and in some cases democratic radical convictions.

Nobody here is guilty of wanting anyone sent to a labor camp, or of wanting mass executions, or even of favoring suppression of "counterrevolutionary devationist" opinions.

Let the "far left" smear be seen for what it is: a lie

And let it be retired from usage here at DU.

This forum deserves greater rhetorical care than that.
